Ming Li Hui, who goes by the name of “Carol,” has lived for 20 years in the town of Kennett, Missouri, after coming here from Hong Kong. She has been raising a family there and works as a waitress—and as The New York Times reports in a piece featuring quotes from Carol and many locals, she’s well-liked in the community. But Carol was recently arrested and now faces potential deportation. This has shocked and dismayed many of the town’s residents, even though the area went overwhelmingly for Trump. Carol talked to us on the podcast straight from jail, where she is awaiting her fate. At times the conversation was difficult: She broke down in tears about her ordeal, was emotionally overwhelmed at the support she’s received from the Trump-backing town, and offers wrenching thoughts about Trump’s effort to deport countless others just like her. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

She must be a violent criminal gang member with tattoos who stole Kristy Noem’s other purse” because Trump and Noem say that is all they have deported without any amount of Shame

He's doing exactly what he told them he was going to do.

These people are fucking morons and deserve the horrible situations they voted to give themselves.

I only feel bad for the people who knew this would happen and voted against it.
